50 Best Bars near East Dundee

“great place to stop for taisty drinks“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“I walked into this joint with a bunch of metal heads and it felt like that moment in Tombstone when they walked into the saloon and everyone stopped and looked at them. We had fun on the gambling games and that staff was fast and friendly.“

“River Lee’s is exactly what a dive bar should be. The cozy atmosphere, dimmed by glowing neon signs, makes it feel like you’ve stepped into a time capsule in the best possible way. Nothing fancy, nothing fake — just old-school charm. The beer is cheap, cold, and served without pretense, which is exactly why I’ll keep coming back. If you’re looking for polish, look elsewhere. If you’re looking for character, you’ve found it. River Lee’s gets it.“

“I love this place my sister is the manager there and she's always a good time people are always happy come there if you want to knock a good time out That's what Theresa she will pleasantly take care of you never a dull moment at this bar“

“They went above and beyond to make our cocktails (Dark and Stormy) when they were out of ginger beer...they went to a neighboring bar and got some! the ceviche was great too!“

“At Bandito Barney’s we spent our night,
The vibes were buzzing, the mood just right.
The staff was friendly, quick with a smile,
They made our visit feel so worthwhile.

The place itself? A total delight —
Cool décor, great music, and laughs all night.
But when it came to the food on our tray,
We both agreed it was just “okay.”

One funny twist we didn’t foresee:
No Budweiser or Michelob Ultra for me!
But my wife and I still had our share of fun,
And when all’s said and done — we’ll be back for round one.“

“Great bar, friendly staff! Very nice atmosphere to sit and chat or watch the games on the TVs. Gaming section and the food is not bad either! Great choices and good pizza! I love the wide selection of Whiskey, bourbons, Gin and tequilas great neighborhood hangout.“

“Welcoming! Nice atmosphere! Owner is a darling! Great deal! I love the rustic vibe“

“The Dutch is a VIBE. Upfront it’s giving biker bar but it’s much much more than that. There’s pool and slots in the back and tons of drinks. The food is very good. The service was fast and very friendly. Try the Nashville chicken or come Friday’s for Fish“

“Awesome food and fresh Guinness!“

“I was in the other day for lunch and the music was so loud, you couldn't talk to the person next to you without shouting. Your fish fry is very good and I want to keep coming in, but with the music that loud, I will be going elsewhere.“

“Great atmosphere! Friendly bartenders & customers. The owner, Emma is kind & friendly. Great neighborhood establishment. We'll be back!“

“Tiny little Bar and grill. I've been going there for 20 years then one of the customers I have never seen before give me a hard time. It was the small disagreement over condo assessments then the owner decided to bar me. The wonderful bartenders he had let go and the place totally lost its appeal. The owner wouldn't even let me go in to get food to go. Ridiculous. But they did me a huge favor since it went downhill it's not even worth going in there anymore.“

“Above the norm! Excellent food and a welcome change.“

“Good drinks, fun board games, friendly staff, bingo on Tuesdays, and overall a fun time.“

“This is a wonderful neighborhood bar. Like the old south side.“

“Only food is pizza, the very best homemade frozen pizza you'll ever have...as good as from name brand pizza house, at half the price....drinks,.as thing, ..top booze
at half the price... Family owned for 41 yrs....neighborhood tavern style joint.“

“Spotless clean Friendly , congenial service“

“Great authentic food Great service Very reasonably priced Large gaming area Highly recommend this place“

“Love the bartender she's very cool. Good service!😊“

“Biker bar very quiet and friendly people“

“Great local bar with the best bartenders in the area. If you want to experience what real Elgin is like, look no further than Hoppes! They have Fish Fry on Fridays but I’ve never had it but I want to. The owners are great and their sexy son, Chad, works some nights and is great eye candy for the ladies. If you want a bartender that serves up honesty along with great drinks, Jimmy is your man. He’s brutally honest so ask him to roast you for a good time. He once referred to a customer as the Vampire of Fun and he was spot on. Tiffany is a ball of energy, whose spirit is infectious. If you’re having a bad day, go during her shifts and she’ll pick you up immediately. Gale is the last bartender I’ve interacted with who works there. He’s a cool calm dude who can tell you some of the most interesting facts of the area. He’s also a caterer and a butcher when not at the bar. Theres someone for everyone here and if you’re in from out of town or just traveling through, have a stop at Hoppes just so you can say you’ve been there.“

“They have a pool table!!!! But can you move it in, just a bit. The poolstick hits the glass too much.Anyway their oven was not working so couldn't try the pizza, but they sold snacks. The drinks are basic but not bad. I don't mind cranberry vodka.Really cheap drinks. Amazing service and cool quiet chill atsmophere.I want to come back and play more billiards.“

“Their nachos are beyond delicious.“

“Beautiful bartender Lindsay and Christina and Tracy great drinks great service awesome karaoke every Friday.“

“I love this small and friendly piano bar. It has a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. My favorite part is the live music, especially Jeannie Tanner and Abigail Riccards.“

“Great place to relax and have ice cold drinks.“

“Nice time. Played pool and darts. Great night“

“Great place to buy liquor, and beer. They also have a full service bar,the entire staff is very friendly and professional.Not to mention the people who patronize are also very polite and friendly. It's a must stop, if you haven't been there The owner is also very knowledgable about wines, ect“

“Stopped in last Sunday and they happened to be having free wings and potato wedges if you ordered a Bloody Mary. Bartender, Jasmine, was super friendly and told us about other specials they offer other days. Definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a new place to have a drink at a local Dive Bar.“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“Great burgers just like their Hoffman Estates location! Booths too!“

“Erieon made our experience wonderful in Kankakee!“

“Went with the Hubby on a Saturday date and had a great time! The other customers were friendly and we ended up chatting with half the bar before the night was through. 1 pool table but everyone was super chill taking turns to play. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

“i Was on 3 week training camp for my coming up fight..i went to dance at this place and God damn let me tell you it was the best camp training I've ever got... i forgot I was at a nightclub... fought like three dudes couple of black eyes but it's okay.. downed a couple of modelos and we were back at it .we need one of these in Jersey come to jersey“

“Excellant karaoke dj. Great food great prices, very friendly staff“

“Came here for the first time recently. Don't know why it took so long! We live close by. Great onion rings and pizza, good fast service, enjoyed the free popcorn too! Very nice, clean atmosphere. Will definitely come again!“

“Definitely a very calm atmosphere. This place is a gaming area and on the weekends it turns into like a small flea market period There is a Mexican restaurant to the left side of the building and a bingo area to the right side of the building you can get all authentic Mexican food and enjoy some time with family and friends for dinner at their nice restaurant that they have it's definitely worth a trip. Due to the many facilities that they have attached to each other I'm not exactly sure about the hours so that you'd have to double check me for leaving.“

“Great place to hangout! Even though it's a cash only bar they have an ATM. Drink specials everyday and it's cheaper than most bars. Bags and pool tournaments on Tuesday's starting at 6PM. Never a dull moment! 😀😊😀😊😀😊😀😊“

“Outdoor dining area was very cute. Food was good. Service was good! Will def be back. Taco pizza is fire!“
